Bill > SB128

This bill abolishes the State Board of Health and transfers its duties to the State Committee of Public Health. The bill revises the membership of the State Committee of Public Health, phasing in changes over time to include representatives from various medical associations. The bill also revises the duties and qualifications of the State Health Officer, requiring the Governor to appoint the State Health Officer from a list submitted by the State Committee of Public Health. Additionally, the bill requires the State Health Officer's emergency rules, orders, or directives related to disease containment or mitigation to be approved by the Governor and filed with the Secretary of State, though it does not restrict the State Health Officer from issuing certain individualized orders or directives.
